It's obnoxious disclaimers like this that make me want to forward the message to everybody I know. ;-) So what do you do when the email footer demands that you delete the message and your corporate email policy demands that you retain all emails? And exactly how is it prohibited? You send it to me with my name and address on it therefore it's mine. This is not case of the post office delivering mail to the wrong address. Do we need to have a disclaimer in our mail servers that warns the sender that we retain the right to permanently store and publish any emails that we are sent? Last year I got an email from a lawyer I'd been dealing with on a copyright issue who let Outlook autocomplete to the wrong address. It contained a copy of a contract between two companies that were considering a merger. I advised him he'd sent it to the wrong address, he demanded all copies be deleted and it wound up with lawyers fighting over our right to keep an audit trail of all electronic documents and emails as part of our transactional history. They turned up the heat quite high because I work for a newspaper and the merger deal was supposed to be a secret. By the time the lawyers had got involved it was a exective management policy crisis and the Editor was wanting to break the merger story on page 1. We didn't run the story but we did retain the emails. Steve ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

The content type has been changed to text/xml, which displays correctly in both IE and FireFox.

The PPM2 and PPM3 servers should now always return identical result sets, so to get even better performance you should switch off the PPM2 repository in your PPM3 clients.

I've since had time to take a more thorough look at the ppm documentation and, in so doing, found that the ppd file can be displayed by running: ppm describe -ppd DBI Interestingly, that displays a slightly different ppd file to the one I see when I browse to http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.8-windows/DBI.ppd .

IIS 6 stores its info in a plain xml file, system32\inetsrv\metabase.xml. You can open this and play with standard tools, although you need to configure IIS to allow edits while running, or shutdown IIS, before making changes. You should find most of what you need in there. Alternatively, you could check out the ADSI/WMI providers: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/I IS/43a51d34-7c81-413b-9727-ec9a19d0b428.mspx IIS 5 is not as easy since the metabase is a proprietry binary format, but there are still command line/COM interfaces to management I think. I've never used any of this stuff but it looks promising. Cheers, Paul * Gloucester Research Limited believes the information provided herein is reliable.

MS SMTP and MS FTP server information
Hi All: How can I find this stuff with Perl? I need to dump the SMTP and ftp settings, what MS calls properties, from a machine for a report but the setup is done using IIS with GUIs. Anyone know how to do this? Where to get the information from? I've scoured the registry and can't find where Gates' hides it.
